If the Pro is like the original Pine phone, it turns on when you plug in the power, but you can then turn it off from the GUI interface.
a 2 second power button press, turns on the phone
a 10-12 second power button press is a hard shut down
a 15 second power button press results in a hard re-start.
removing the battery while the modem is running is NOT recommended !
The battery is the same as the original Pine phone, please check other threads on this forum for details on the replacement batteries.
I have purchased a few decent quality batteries on ebay, but they are available through other sources as well online.
Prices seem to range from about $6.00 to $12.00 USD, not too bad. ----> (usually includes free shipping)
*****************
The Boot order for the Pro phone is different than the original Pine phone, The Pro gives boot priority to the eMMC...
this can be "worked around" --->
I suggest reading a bit here on the forum to better understand how to work with this set-up. ---> Nothing "Faulty" with the Pro, it is just different.
*******
As far as holding a charge while the phone is turned off, This could be a fault with the factory shipped operating system.
The factory installed image is probably at least 2 - 3 months old by now, and most operating systems have improved a lot in the last few months.
Updating the installed image may help, but a fresh install may be better yet.
